=== Memorials === [[File:Holbeck Moor Road, Holbeck - geograph.org.uk - 529637.jpg|thumb|right|The Gaitskell flats in [[Holbeck]], [[Leeds]] were named after Gaitskell. They were demolished in 2010.]] His name appears in popular culture from time to time. For example Hugh Gaitskell House is the building [[Nicholas Lyndhurst]]'s character, Garry Sparrow, is looking for in ''[[Goodnight Sweetheart (TV series)|Goodnight Sweetheart]]'' when he first stumbles into [[Second World War]] London. A tower block of that name can be found opposite [[Stoke Newington railway station]] in North London. Hugh Gaitskell Primary School is situated in [[Beeston, Leeds|Beeston]], part of his former Leeds South constituency.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hughgaitskell.leeds.sch.uk|title=Hugh Gaitskell Primary School|work=hughgaitskell.leeds.sch.uk|access-date=13 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=428500&Y=430500&width=700&height=400&gride=428671&gridn=430688&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=LS118AB&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=10000&out.x=3&out.y=11|title=Maps}}</ref> The area is now in the [[Leeds Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central]] constituency, represented by [[Hilary Benn]]. In 1978, some 15 years after his death, a new housing development by [[Sandwell]] council in the [[Tividale]] area of the [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] was named Gaitskell Terrace. A portrait bust of Hugh Gaitskell was made by British sculptor [[Leslie Cubitt Bevis]] in 1964 and purchased by the [[National Portrait Gallery, London|National Portrait Gallery]] in 1967. Gaitskell was buried in Hampstead, and a memorial plaque to his name is prominently placed in the cloisters of [[New College, Oxford]].
